A group of physicists has combined vortex rings and electromagnetism to develop a unique electromagnetic vortex gun. Vortex rings that form in liquids and gases are created by sudden changes in pressure.

The researchers demonstrated how these rings can be generated using radially polarized antennas. They succeeded in achieving the formation of rotating structures of electromagnetic waves.

Recent experiments have shown: the shape and energy of microwave toroidal pulses can be maintained over long distances, which opens new horizons in wireless technologies. These pulses have unique topological characteristics and high stability, which is why they are so promising for data transmission.
